Love the pics. Beautiful onion blossom - I don't grow veggies but to get a blossom like that I'd grow some onions!! Kassia - Cocoa and Nestle are so cute!! Eleanor
pretty shots Kassia
Great stuff! I am loving all the colors.
ngam, thats one beautiful dahlia. Who needs more when the one you have is stunning!
Kassia, lovely pics. I think the one planted form seed is a blackberry lily.
Pirl, your dahlia's are gorgeous and look so big. How tall are they?
This is supposed to be Rose of Sharon "Red Heart" and i've waited 16 months for it to bloom, only to find out it's not Red Heart!!!!
Beautiful shots - great Dahlia pics.
beautiful pics everyone!
Kassia - I think that is Blackberry Lily. My Candy Lily was finished a while back.
Arlene, I agree with you that the Dahlia's are lovin' the cooler weather.
Al - as usual you have out done yourself again.
amethystsm - love the cosmos and gazania are one of my favorites!
my garden help
Debilu, that's so sweet and whimsical.
Here is Corona Cherry Magic Dianthus still blooming, taken yesterday.
That is gorgeous! How big are the blooms?
About an inch. There are lots of flowers on each plant.
thanks, anita!
the wind yesterday was really hard on my cosmos - uprooted one in front of my house, and broke big pieces off the summer dreams - i think i lost 1/4 to 1/3 of them at least. The metal stakes i was using bent. It also tore one of my strawflowers out of the ground, pulled a narrow bamboo stake out of the ground, and broke marigolds and mums.
it was a sad day in the garden - i'm glad i took so many pictures when i did!
Do you have any pics of your blue pimpernels? i was SO jealous when you said you were growing them!

Thanks, bebop. I have a similar one in lavender but yours is prettier - more vibrant!
Nice dianthus bebop.
Amy I lose cosmos every year, sometimes I can prop them back up.
here is a midseason seeding flop. These tri colored daisies needed ALL season to flower I guess.

The helenium party is over.
Deb, that's very cute!
bebop, very pretty dianthus. I love them.
Al, I'm sorry to see the helenium go. It will really break my heart when a frost gets the dahlias. I like the fountain grass.
I finally got another flower on the species dahlia.
a lot of dahlias are just coming into their own...here's Vancouver
Barbarossa is so red I can't photograph it well. it practically screams at you LOL
A bouquet of Yellow/Lavender and LeBaron
and the roses...Tradescant
Sheila's Perfume
btw, the scent on Sheila's Perfume (obviously LOL) is to die for. I take closeups for an excuse to hang around the bloom.
here's Daybreaker
Cherry Parfait
How do the dahlias smell ;)
